Yes or no: Can you tell if a seed is male or female?

Yeah I found female flowers on some seedlings that were still getting 24-hour light. I like it when that happens because then I know to go ahead and clone the plant.

It's called pre-flowering. If it's mature you should see them.

Update: My wife picked out four seeds that were supposed to be male. Only one of them was male. These are the three others. Pollen came from a random unknown male in my garden, possibly a Cheese bastard. And now I wish I had cloned them. I expected them to get too tall, but they stayed nice and compact in 1-gallon containers.

No. If that was a thing, no one would bother with feminized seeds

Not true, many folks would rather make/buy gear made with parents that are both known to produce fire female flower. Male selection is a joke.

the cheese bastard's bastards...probably snuck in with the damn cat...

look healthy and productive...cheers!
